The magnitude distribution of the long range correlation which can be reflected by the mutual information is PS〉PSa〉PSb (P5a and P5b are the sequences that replace solely Alu repeats and all interspersed repeats with random uneorrelated sequences in human Y chromosome palindrome 5, respectively); and the magnitude distribution of the short range correlation which can be reflected by the n-tuple entropy and the conditional entropy is PS〉P5a〉PSb〉random uncorrelated sequence. In other words, when the Alu repeats and all interspersed repeats replace with random uneorrelated sequence, the long range and short range correlation decrease gradually. However, the random nncorrelated sequence has no correlation. This research indicates that more repeat sequences result in stronger correlation between bases in human Y chromosome. The analyses may be helpful to understand the special structures of human Y chromosome palindromes profoundly.展开更多

They can be described in terms of quark-cluster formation in nuclei due to wave-function overlapping, manifesting itself when the momentum transfer is high so that the partonic degrees of freedom are resolved. In clusters (correlated nucleons) the quark and gluon momentum distributions are softer than in single nucleons and extend to <em style="white-space:normal;">x</em><sub style="white-space:normal;">Bjorken</sub><span style="white-space:normal;"> > 1</span>. The cluster formation probabilities are computed using a network-defining algorithm in which the initial nucleon density is either standard Woods-Saxon or is input from lower energy data while the critical radius for nucleon merging is an adjustable parameter. The exact choice of critical radius depends on the specific nucleus and it is anti-correlated to the rescaling of the <em>x</em><sub>Bjorken</sub> needed for bound nucleons. The calculations show that there is a strong dependence of the cross section ratios on the <em>x</em><sub>Bjorken</sub> in agreement with the data and that four-body correlations are needed to explain the experimental results even in the range 1 <<em> x</em><sub>Bjorken</sub> < 2. The dependence on the specific exponents of parton distributions in high-order clusters is weak.展开更多

The effects on the p-^4He and ^4He-^12C elastic scattering, and in particular on the proton elastic scattering off hallo-like nuclei, ^6,8He, are estimated. Our calculations show that the short-range correlations play an important role in reproducing experimental data and could be also thought of as being possible origin and nature of halo-like phenomena in the nuclear structure. More accurate calculations along this line are needed.展开更多

Our findings indicate that the pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations should contain some new physical information, and are not a simple result of the pseudorapidity distribution of final particles. The AMPT results with and without hadronic scattering are compared. It is found that hadron scattering can only increase the short-range correlations to some level, but is not responsible for the different correlation shapes for different energies. Further study shows that the different pseudorapidity dependence of short-range correlations are mainly due to partonic evolution and the following hadronization scheme.展开更多
